Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 217

Chapter 217: Master Lee’s Discontentment, Danger Looms Above Gujiang’s Head

“Master Lee, Master Gu, please come to my side. Let’s discuss these pill recipes on the pill scroll,” Fairfrost Sage said.

“It’s my honor to have been invited by you, Sage.”

“Yes, I shall gladly accept.”

With the Sage’s personal invitation, the two Alchemy Masters were very courteous.

Fairfrost Sage flashed them a faint smile. “I’m an Alchemist too. From now on, treat me as your equal. There’s no need for you both to be overly courteous.”

“Sure.”

The three of them sat down on the floor cross-legged and began to discuss the pill recipes on the pill scroll.

The rest of the Alchemists then started to study it too.

This Iron Alchemy Pill Scroll had a total of eighty-eight incomplete pill recipes. Amongst those, seventeen had already been recovered, so there were seventy-one remaining.

Fairfrost Sage had studied it for a thousand years and only managed to fill in seventeen pill recipes. This showed how tough it would be to fully recover all of the pill recipes there.

Some of the alchemists locked their eyebrows as they stared at it.

Chu Kuangren was amongst the crowd.

He, too, was an Alchemy Master, so he had a certain interest in the tattered pill recipes on the pill scroll. Thus, he began studying it like the rest of the crowd.

“I think it’s only correct if we add the Cleansing Flower here.”

“Right, I thought so too.”

“No, the Cleansing Flower’s medicinal effect is too strong. It’s not suitable here…”

Excluding Chu Kuangren, Fairfrost Sage, Gujiang, and Master Lee were three of the most skilled amongst this crowd of alchemists, but of course, the discussions which ensued between them would also be the most intense.

There were several times when, if it was not for Fairfrost Sage’s presence, Master Lee and Gujiang would have quarreled.

Nonetheless, in such intense debate, Fairfrost Sage had obtained some inspiration too, especially from some of the opinions tabled out by Gujiang. His opinions were very unique, and they often made her feel eye-opening.

“Master Gujiang is indeed a highly esteemed Alchemy Master of the Firmament Star. Your alchemic mastery is superior to mine by miles. I’m impressed.”

Fairfrost Sage looked at Gujiang and complimented him.

Meanwhile, at the side, Master Lee looked very irritated.

Fairfrost Sage had praised Gujiang but not him, so did that not mean that he was inferior to his rival?

Truth be told, Master Lee had noticed something out of the usual as well. Gujiang’s alchemic prowess had now improved by miles as compared to the past, and he had unknowingly surpassed him.

What was really going on here?

“Hah, I’ve been given some pointers by someone great recently, hence I’m able to provide some insight here today. Otherwise, I’m pretty sure I’d make a fool of myself in front of you, dear Sage.”

Gujiang smiled as he said.

Those words surprised the other two of them.

It was a known fact that Gujiang’s alchemic skills were already one of the top one or two amongst the entire Firmament Star. Who else was so great that he could provide him some pointers?

“This great person who has been able to give you pointers, I’m sure his mastery in alchemy must be exceptional. If you could perhaps invite this person here to study this pill scroll together, I’m sure our work here would be sped up more efficiently. I wonder who this person is?”

Fairfrost Sage directly asked.

“Hah, this person is the Sect Leader of our Black Heaven Sect, Chu Kuangren!” Gujiang laughed as he delivered the shocking revelation.

When he finished his sentence, Fairfrost Sage’s expression froze. Master Lee, on the other hand, had a face written full of disbelief. “Chu Kuangren? Do you mean that little kiddo? You’re telling me that he can give you pointers with regards to alchemy, what joke is this?”

“Master Lee, mind your language, please. Our Sect Leader is, after all, the mighty head of an orthodoxy. What you just said was utter disrespect to someone of his esteem.”

Gujiang replied coldly.

“You…” Master Lee’s expression sank the moment he heard that, but he was unable to fire back any appropriate response.

That was because Chu Kuangren’s name had taken the world by storm now. Not only was he the head of an orthodoxy, but he was also an unparalleled elite who was capable of slaying Sages. It was true that he should not have belittled him like how he did earlier even if he was an Alchemy Master.

Even Fairfrost Sage could not help but turn a little serious upon the mention of the two words, Chu Kuangren. “Chu Kuangren is indeed a genius in terms of cultivation, but does he have such mastery as well in alchemy?”

“It’s all true. I only chose to join the Black Heaven Sect because of him.” Gujiang nodded as he said.
